Navigating the future of underground mining: How HELIX Dispatch is revolutionizing fleet management

In today’s fast-paced underground mining industry, operational efficiency and safety are paramount. HELIX Dispatch, a cutting-edge solution from MST Global, is transforming how fleet management is approached, from the production face to surface operations. By combining advanced automation with real-time tracking, HELIX Dispatch streamlines complex workflows, improving productivity, safety, and decision-making.

Key Features and Benefits of HELIX Dispatch
    

Advanced Fleet Management:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                The heart of HELIX Dispatch lies in its robust fleet management capabilities. The system enables dispatchers to monitor and manage equipment utilization, ensuring operational schedules stay on track. From shift planning to real-time task monitoring, dispatchers can oversee every aspect of the operation with ease.

Seamless Integration with Production Tracking:
HELIX Dispatch integrates with production tracking solutions, providing a comprehensive view of underground activities. It combines location, time, and crew data, allowing for a complete picture of production processes. This integration leads to better decision-making and faster responses to operational changes.

Short Interval Control (SIC):
Managing the entire fleet’s schedule and tasks is simplified through SIC. With alerts for delayed activities and the ability to assign and prioritize tasks, SIC improves task completion efficiency. This feature helps reduce inefficiencies at the working face, ultimately boosting productivity.

Material Management:
Managing materials accurately is crucial for any mine’s success. HELIX Dispatch offers material management solutions that ensure ore and waste materials are efficiently tracked from underground operations to surface facilities. Features like automatic dump assignments and operator alerts minimize the risk of mixing materials and optimize the flow of resources.

Safety Management:
Safety is paramount in mining operations. HELIX Dispatch includes safety management solutions that identify and alert operators to potential hazards. By ensuring equipment safety checks and monitoring location-based risks, HELIX Dispatch helps reduce unsafe working conditions and ensures swift responses to potential dangers.

Tracking and Visualization:
The integration of HELIX 3D Connect brings a real-time, geospatial digital twin of your mining operations. This advanced tracking system uses multiple positioning technologies, providing clear visibility of assets and personnel both underground and on surface. With real-time tracking, reverse tracking, and geofencing, mine operators have a comprehensive tool for optimizing operations.

HELIX Dispatch not only enhances operational visibility but also contributes to better safety protocols, improved productivity, and optimized equipment usage. As the mining industry continues to evolve, solutions like HELIX Dispatch are setting a new standard for efficiency and safety in underground operations.
